Canisius Women's Schedule Released

from press release

Seven home games and three contests against 2010 NCAA Tournament
teams highlight the 2011 Canisius College women's lacrosse
schedule, announced by head coach Scott Teeter on Tuesday.

"This is one of our most challenging schedules that we have put
together," Teeter said. "The non-conference schedule will help us
for our conference season and will better prepare us for reaching
our goal of a MAAC Championship."

Canisius opens the season on Feb. 22, playing at Vanderbilt. The
Griffs and Commodores, who finished 10th in the IWLCA national poll
last season, are meeting for the first time on the lacrosse
field.

The Griffs remain on the road for non-conference games against
Detroit (Feb. 26), Stanford (March 6), Ohio State (March 7) and
Binghamton (March 9). Stanford, who earned a spot in the 2010 NCAA
Tournament, and Canisius are set to meet on a neutral field in
Columbus, Ohio.

The team's home opener is scheduled for March 12 against Longwood.
The Griffs also play non-conference games at the Demske Sports
Complex against Connecticut (March 25), Duquesne (March 27) and
Albany (April 21), while playing at Robert Morris (March 22) and
St. Bonaventure (April 25).

The Griffs open MAAC play at home against Manhattan (April 1).
Canisius also hosts Iona (April 3) and Siena (April 17), while
playing at defending champion Marist (April 8), Fairfield (April
10) and Niagara (April 19).

The top four teams in the MAAC regular season qualify for the 2011
MAAC Championship, held on the campus of Iona College. The
semifinals take place on April 29 with the championship game is
slated for May 1.

Canisius returns 18 letterwinners and seven starters from the 2010
team that finished second in the MAAC and earned its third-straight
trip to the conference tournament for the first time in the
program's history.
